create obtainable goals and surprass them

I love this goal! My expectations of myself are usually too high for me to accomplish, so I end up frustrated and feeling like a failure. Setting goals I can actually see through to completion and building up from that point is something I’m slowly learning to do.

Part of this goal should be to help people set and realize their own obtainable goals. I hate the idea of supporting someone’s goal out of friendship, but not because it’s a good thing for a person to be doing. Supporting my friends and family no matter what is important, but I think it’s better to be honest and encourage them to make good decisions for and about themselves.

I promised myself that I would keep the house relatively clean from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but I’ve fallen behind on the maintenance part of the deal. Now, I’ll have to go back through the kitchen, bath, and bedroom – all before they get too much out of hand. The livingroom, guest bedroom, and den are still sparkling for me, so there really isn’t too much to be done. In fact, the only impediment that I can forsee is going to be getting the curtains back up, once I give them a good cleaning. I may need back-up for this one!

Although I’m using some of the goals other people posted, I’m really trying to personalize them enough to be useful to myself. I’m not going by anyone else’s experiences, strengths, beliefs, or expectations.
